2F-E swap update (1 Viewer)

Thought that I should post some follow up here about the 2F-E swap and how it is today.

It has 3000 miles on it now (yea, I don't get a chance to drive often). I had a valve stem seal(s) leaking very bad and just got that fixed a couple weeks ago. Since then, I have been driving it more. The last highway trip I got nearly 20 mpg. That was really nice, but the engine was pinging due to a lean running situation.

I have adjusted the AFM (MAF sensor) to 12 clicks richer. No more ping, but mileage has went down too.

I really like it still. The other day on the freeway, I opened it up to see what she would do. 95 MPH and still had some pull left, but my nuts are in my wifes purse so I let off.

If I had an option to do this swap again, I would. If you have questions, ask away.

95MPH? Most be a NASCAR cruiser!!!
just kiding So how do you feel the driving compare to the 2F talking about the performance issues?

Are you serious when you said 95 mph?!?

Did you swap in a standard with that block, or did you keep the A440?

 

[tonkota]

I am serious. 95 MPH. I am actually really surprised that the 2F-E winds up so well. I still have the A440. It has no modifications besides an extra cooler.

FJ60_cruiser: I'm not entirely sure about your question. Are you asking what my driving had to do with actual performance? Well, the 3F-E never behaved like the 2F-E. It would rev ok, but it never felt like it was doing anything. The 2F-E revs better than I thought, and down low around town, it just feels like a tractor. I've had it off road too and it feels more fun and controlable.

sorry my english is not that good.
I was talking about the change in aceleration, driving around town and how does it runs in the highway but it seems really fast!! 95MPH what about the revs at this speed?

I can believe that...my 3fed 80 could do 85 for hours and hours....95 is not that hrad to believe...good work man.

Overall how hard was the conversion? I have an 88 FJ62 and I'd love to do something like the 2F-E in it. Did you do anything major to the 2F block? Are you running headers? A cam? anything exotic like that? (Forgive the questions). I'll have to start researching this for my rig.

Swap was really easy. look here:

Nothing spectacular. Balancing I feel was important and worth the money. Get the Toyota Trails magazine with the article in it.

FJ60 Cruiser: It's great around town. If I'm loaded, or unloaded, it feels the same for the most part. I think that the 31's also suck a little power, but it's not bad.

Revs at 95 weren't near redline (4500 RPM) I can run up to about 70 in third.
